Exotek F1 IFS V2 front end set

Exotek have introduced the V2 variant of they F1 IFS front end kit for the Tamiya TRF102, the F104 and Exotek F1R3. New V2 IFS set includes wider heavy duty machined delrin arms that add 2mm per side, precision machined delrin shock pistons and HD steering pins. With our IFS suspension the handling of the car becomes much more linear with real body roll characteristics which means owners can drive harder into a corner while maintaining stability and confident road holding performance which translates to improved overall race time results and consistency. The front end excels in rough and bumpy track conditions and tames all high speed asphalt tracks by making the car glide through all sections. Like a touring car the IFS let’s drivers attack corners without fear of getting pitched out of the groove which typically happens with conventional Formula cars. Additionally, when coupled with the optional upper arm set, the design features of the IFS gives modellers much more set up options just as a real cars. The V2 kit is usable with the Tamiya TRF103, the F104 and the Exotek F1R3.
